Yesterday's Treasures Ebook

Lindy Coats never wanted a divorce, but after twenty years of laundry and loneliness, she's no longer sure her marriage is worth saving. Desperate and aching, she leaves her workaholic husband a note, pulls her daughter out of school, and flees to a Lake Michigan cottage to ask God what's left of the woman she used to be.

Adam Coats reads that note and can't deny a word of it—he was so busy providing that he never noticed his wife losing her job, her joy, and finally her faith in him. He knows he doesn't deserve a second chance, yet he prays for one anyway, terrified it's already too late.

In the little town of Blueberry Beach, the neighbors who take Lindy in are wrestling with their own quiet battles: a single dad too wounded to hope, a gruff shop owner hiding a broken heart, and a young mother guarding terrible secrets while her son fights leukemia. Together this unlikely family teaches Lindy that grace grows hardest in the places that hurt the most.

As she learns to forgive, to dream, and even to start a business of her own, the question that haunts her only sharpens.

Then Adam arrives, humbled and changed, begging her to believe that what's broken can still be healed. Now Lindy must choose between the new life God is building in her and the marriage she once promised before Him. Can love truly be reclaimed—can she find the treasures of yesterday?
